BCCI postpones elections on back of IPL saga

The BCCI on Wednesday expressed reservations about the Supreme Court appointed high-powered committee, insisting its autonomy would be at stake. The committee could take a call on the punishment for those who breached the IPL code of conduct, including Gurunath Meiyappan, the son-in-law of BCCI president-in-exile N. Srinivasan. The committee that could include retired judges, will also look into whether Srinivasan's role in the alleged betting and spot-fixing scam in IPL 6 and if the role of the two requires punishment and the quantum.

The court had said maintaining "purity" of cricket was of utmost importance to it and hinted at setting up a high-powered committee to suggest measures for cleansing the game and ascertain if there was conflict of interest involving Srinivasan. "That committee has to be a high-powered committee and that committee will also look into the conflict of interest and its findings will be binding on BCCI," a bench of justices T S Thakur and F M I Kalifulla observed while hinting that the committee would consist of retired judges.
